(Loyalty Is,) The Source

[Rhodes]

The Dread Lord sidles pauses, looking back. It looked like they were distracted with the cart.

There was definitely something back here, from observing the conversation. But going alone was not a wise move.

Rhodes lurks in the undergrowth, and waits.

[Saber Sloth]

Hmm! I was going to let you choose without rolling, but. Yes, lets leave the party's possible split to the capricious god that is the dice roller! Circe Origins can roll Manip+Persuasion or Subterfuge, vs. Yumyumcrow Anatole 's Resolve + Composure

[Seraphina]

With Circe helping and maybe trying to talk Anatole into not going, and Rhodes moving, Sera didn’t want to be left behind.

So, she decides to try and follow the Dread Lord. She could be sneaky. Maybe. Fingers crossed.

[Circe]

Circe relly needs to work on her sales pitching. "Come oooon Anny don't leave me all alone out in the road, I'm sure my legs are waaaay sexier then the spider's legs. Unless yer inta that which kinda cool but wow," Circe is busy wiping mud from her face, "Blegh," then she decides to add, "Also yer options are travel with some boys or a girl covered in mud. Whose offer to build ya a magical ax is still there if ya stay."

"Granted not an acid spewing ax, I'm saving that bits fer my gun," Circe shrugs as she finishes cleaning her face before stepping back from the cart. "We can also just ask these boys fer a phone number, ya know, schedule a date with more stuff ta trade."

Wasn't sure if it would count as a sales pitch of if the ax was a bonus bribe, so I didn't count those 2 extra dice

[Saber Sloth]

It's clear to the Lost that Circe has not won Anatole over. The Smith falls in line with the Elementals and their wooden cart, tarp still covering whatever thy were moving, in hopes to sell at the Great Spider Bazaar.

For the Lost that stay the course, they find that their course isn't as it had been while their attention had been focused upon the cart and the Elementals. The well worn mud road they were travelling was still as clear as it had been, but then again, even as they were speaking with Circe and Anatole, one of them kept focus upon the road.

For the Lost trying to find the Orchard that Bricks and Huff mentioned they would need now to navigate the Hedge, clearing the path that had changed while their attention lay elsewhere.

Okay! Wits+Survival my lovelies.
If you want to follow Anatole you can, Sera and Rhodes will need to roll Dex+Stealth, and move to the new thread!

[Circe]

"Fanculo!" Is her response as Anatole departs with a bunch of unknowns. The idiot splitting the party. Dynamite was needed to blast the orchid so she couldn't follow. "Going off alone, with a group unknown, if only I could be given a sign ta know, if help with either of us would go."

She looks around at the thorns. She wasn't sure where the couple was. Circe decided to be really obvious a out wanting to hear from them, "Seriously. A golden sign or a blossoming arrow would be welcome right now." What the Hell, go for broke, "Or murder bots that look at me and declare by your command. That'd work too."

Circe prefers the mission because she has the BOOM but wants to know where Rhodes and Seraphina plan to go.

[Rhodes]

Seeing the cart begin making it's way back down the track, Rhodes waits until it has turned the bend then emerges back onto the road. Edging back, he sees the Blueberry elf in the road. The expression sours as he sees only her.

"Well....fuck," the Dread Lord snarls.

[Seraphina]

Navigating the Hedge was a thing the Nix had never mastered. Which was why she never went in alone.

Turning in circles a few times, finally throwing her arms up, she edges back to the road.

An eyebrow was raised at Rhodes, cussing wasn’t a thing he usually did. “So this is a thing now. Splitting the party is never good.” They could go after him, but then they risked losing the orchid.

[Saber Sloth]

Anatole is gone, and the three elemetals to, the Lost are now, lost and still have navigating to do. The thorns grown thick, and the path unclear. Will the Lost trust skill, or play it by ear?

If you for sure want to know where you're going and navigate the Hedge, then roll that Wits+Survival again, but if you want to point yourselves in a random direction and let the Wyrd decide, that's fine too
